BearSox

enjoy it while it lasts, cause this is the last year for olympic baseball... which is some pretty big BS if you ask me. How can you have such sports like badminton in the olympics, but take out baseball? Just plain ridiculous.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 05:33 PM) Poreda comes to mind. And Justin Cassel. And Lucas Harrell... but if they aren't pitching, Allen is pretty much the only one to keep an eye on, isn't he?

If it wasn't for Allen, would there be any reason to check the Barons boxscore daily?

I wish there would be no blackouts all together... that way I could watch the sox when I am away from a tv but near a computer.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 08:27 PM) What were they doing bearsox? I'd be interested in hearing about those pricks. They were just being loud arrogant assholes. Even when Danks was shutting them down, they'd stand up, cheer and give themselves high fives whenever something went in their favor. Like if someone on the white sox hit a freaking foul ball, they'd all get up and give each other high fives. And then when they took the lead, they began to verbally attack white sox fans.

Rumors posted by other members here at SoxTalk suggest that Beckham is on the verge of signing and the two sides have come to an agreement... just thought I'd throw it in the signings thread.

Great win... LOL, I wish I could see some of the a-hole Red Sox fans who were at the game yesterday now. Losing 16-15 going into the 8th, awesome! For a while, I forgot how big of douchebags red sox fans were until I saw a swarm of them yesterday at the game. Only the cubs have worse fans in baseball, but not by much.

I don't care what anyone says, IMO, Javy is our 2nd best pitcher. Before I'd say he is our best, but that title goes to Danks now.

QUOTE (DBAH0 @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 11:57 AM) My point is, I'd rather spend the money on something more valuable e.g A bonafide stud CF or a excellent 2nd baseman such as Orlando Hudson. I think a guy such as Egbert if he was given a chance would be a suitable 5th starter for the team next season. Hence why'd I'd rather if you were going to add someone, just go for a stopgap starter whose contract is up at the end of the season. I've said this before and I'll say it again... I will be extremely shocked if the D-Backs don't re-sigh Hudson. They have traded away all of their 2B base prospects, and that tells me that it is in their intentions to do everything possible to keep him.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 03:40 PM) Hudson really does fit the profile of what the Sox would pursue. At 33, he's going to have to settle for the shorter years deal which is our ,um, specialty regarding pitchers I am pretty sure the discussion was about Orlando Hudson, not Tim...

he's got good stuff, IIRC... he just can't throw strikes. I'd rather see how Broadway does before we call up German.

Going to the game tonight... I'm excited to see Danks and Beckett live. Hopefully he beat the s*** out of that D-Bag Beckett though.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 11:44 PM) Whenever Broadway enters a game, the Sox will be up or down by 4+ runs. If Broadway starts a game, the game is tied. Consider that and then repeat your statement to yourself and see if you agree with it. Broadway is up to pitch garbage innings; if he turns into a good pitcher well then hallef***inglujah. I don't think it'll happen, but you never know. Right now, he's a mopup pitcher. It's also quite possible that he was absolutely filthy that night and his stuff still looked good. You cannot judge a pitcher based off of one performance, and tons of people are doing that. He looked good that outing, I agree completely. That doesn't mean he'll look good in his next one, and it's likely that he's going to suck, seeing as how he's been absolutely terrible over the past month. For all I know you are completely correct... but I hate how everyone just completely writes him off.

Javy, when he's not being a b****, is (IMO) the best pitcher on this staff to watch pitch. But when he is nibbling and not attacking hitters, he is so frustrating to watch.

if he didn't look goofy already, he's now going to look extremely goofy.

One of my favorite movies of his was the Long Hot Summer.

I bought a 60 gig, and have had a total of ZERO problems with it since I bought it... and I bought it around 18 months ago.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 02:12 AM) Why is this exactly? I've never been fond of him, either as a 3rd base coach, bench coach, or interim manager for when Ozzie has been suspended.

Has anyone ever thought that maybe Broadway's bad numbers in the 2nd half are due to the org. wanting him to work on something? I know what I saw last year in Broadway, and I saw a pretty good pitcher. He wasn't getting lucky like some other junk ballers, he actually has very solid stuff. I think people are extremely underrating him.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 01:39 AM) With the way he was pitching early in the season, i never would've believe Logan would get DFA'd. whoa now, I am pretty sure he got optioned to Charlotte and not DFA'd.

So, Ramirez is Logan's replacement. Getz for Fields I would assume as well. Who will be called up for Jose? Broadway?

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 09:49 PM) Well ask yourself this question, are the laws of economics going to suspend for next year. Thats a no. Next year, our 8th pick will requires bags of money to step on the reservation. Either that, or we pick up a pile of crap, call him a 8th pick and sign him for cheap because he is signable. I would rather keep our nice line drive hitting SS, you know one of those hard to find type guys. Who told you Danks is a first round talent, you make very good points...

so we gave up pretty much nothing...

can you move this thread to the minor league forum? Looks like he won't be seeing the majors anytime soon with Ramirez coming here.

so, are we calling up Getz or what?
